Kathleen Rose Perkins has landed a guest-starring role on The Millers as a potential love interest for Will Arnett’s character, EW has learned exclusively.

The Episodes actress will play Miss Sparks, a teacher at a very progressive elementary school that Nathan’s niece is applying to. Nathan tries to date the teacher on behalf of his niece, but Miss Sparks has become trapped in “teacher mode” and can only talk to Nathan the same way she talks to her young students.

Perkins, whose recent credits also include Gone Girl and Person of Interest, will appear in an episode slated for early 2015.
